The start of construction on the long-awaited 3GW TransWest Express transmission line in the US is positive. But the project also shows the challenge that exists globally if countries are to unlock the $21.4trn investment that is needed to upgrade grids for net zero by 2050.
The Netherlands is targeting 9GW of battery storage by 2030, but deployment is being jeopardised by transmission tariffs and a lack of understanding of battery revenue streams
We sat down with Michael, an official speaker at Financing Wind North America in Denver tomorrow, to discuss the technology driving the development of large-scale wind projects in the US, and the transmission obstacles that are slowing it down.
